(It is the day before Halloween.  and  are taking a walk in the BOTVGH woods)

Boy. It sure is scary walking around in these woods.

Then why are we walking here DK?

There are rumers around that these woods are haunted, and I would like to find out.

Well I am not too sure if I want to find out!

(Suddenly there is a distant sound of a horse galloping)

DID YOU HEAR THAT?!

That was probably nothing Diddy. Come on let's go.

But I don't want to go!

Come on! There is nothing to be scared abo...

(Suddenly a big sword swings down and cuts off 's head)

DK!!!! Help! Someone has mistaken DK for Kenny! Please help!

(Suddenly the sword swings towards !)

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

(The next day everyone at the archive is getting ready for the big BOTVGH Halloween party!)

Boy this is going to be the greatest Halloween party we have ever seen!

Actually it is the only Halloween party that we have ever seen...

Knock it off Cranky! So what if this is going to be our first Halloween party?

Well back in my day, we were lucky to get one lousy peice of candy at Halloween. And it was the good home-made stuff! Not any of this sugar-coated garbage that you get these days.

Actually I kind of like the sugar-coated garbage.

(Suddenly there is a knock at the door)

Wow the guests are here!

( opens the front door)

Hi Mario.

Hello Link.

Where's the Cheesy Poofs?

Cartman where are your manners?

HMHM HHMH MHHH!!

You're right Kenny. I believe Cartman did leave them home with the rest of his good qualities.

Well welcome to the party guys!

Hi Mario!

Yoshi! Did you finish getting the snacks?

Yep! I got all the sugar-coated garbage one can eat.

Great!

(Smoke fills the area)

All right who invited them?

(Everyone remains silent)

Oh boy.

Prepare for trouble!

And make it double!

To protect the world from devastation!

To unite all people within our nation!

To denounce the evils of truth and love....

To extend our reach to the stars above.......

Jessie!

James!

Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!

Give us candy or prepare to fight!

Meowth! That's right!

(looking outside the door) Hey! Where are Donkey and Diddy? I am pretty sure that I invited them too.

Oh! Those good-for-nothing kids were out looking for ghosts or something last night. Never saw them again. All I can say is, good riddance.

Donkey and Diddy are missing in the BOTVGH woods? This is serious.

Who knows? They could have been eaten by monsters or something!

You know this good make a good documentary.

Everyone but : DOCUMENTARY!?!?!

Yeah! I will go out looking for Donkey and Diddy and film any scary things that I see.

Yeah! And you could call it the BOTVGH Witch Project!

Come on! Not another one of those silly Blair Witch paradies.

Come on Cranky it will be fun.

You go do what you want. But you are not leaving without me! Those boys need to be taught a lesson when I find them.

HHHMMMM HHHMMMMMMH MHHHHH!!!

Hey guys! Kenny wants to come too!

All right! Let's go!

( grabs a portable camcorder and , and  head out to the BOTVGH Woods)

Good luck.

(Quite a few hours later)

Boy oh boy! I wonder where Mario, Cranky, and Kenny can be?

Maybe they got lost.

Who asked you!

(Suddenly there is a knock at the door)

Hey! Maybe that is them!

( opens the door and the BOTVGH Police are standing there)

Yes, officers?

Officer 1: While making our daily patrol we noticed this smashed up camcorder in the BOTVGH woods.

Officer 2: The camcorder was addressed to this place so we decided to return it. Have a nice day.

(The police leave)

Boy is this camcorder smashed up! I wonder what happened? Hey, the tape is still intact! Maybe the answers will be on the tape.

Then let's put it on!

( puts the video into the VCR and presses play, and we see the action with  holding the camera)

Hey Jumpman! Why do you have to be the one holding the useless camera?

(behind the camera): Well, I was the one who came up with this idea!

Whatever. What in the world are we looking for?!

Don't you remember? We are looking for Donkey Kong and Diddy.

Oh yeah.

Hmmm hmmm hmmm!

Kenny, you can hold the camera later.

(There is the distant sound of galloping)

What was that? (swings the camera around)

It was a horse! Don't you know the sound of a horse if you hear one?

BUT WHERE DID IT COME FROM?!?!?!

Well I don't know! How would you expect me to know?

Well maybe it is because you are sooooooo smart.

Smart! Well back in my day........

(The tape goes off and the power goes out)

Oh great the mircowave has turned off in the middle of making my popcorn.

Well maybe you shouldn't have set the microwave to super-high for 100,000 seconds!

But I like my popcorn nice and burnt!

I just don't know about your tastes.

Guys! Stop aruging! Mega Man, go outside and fix the fuse please.

All right Luigi.

( goes outside. The phone rings)

(on the phone) Hello.

Creepy Voice: What is your favourite scary episode?

Huh??

Creepy Voice: I know what you did last season!

You mean, you know that I tipped the police for Cow King's arrest?

Creepy Voice: Actually, no.

Oops! Never mind.

Creepy Voice: Now let's play a little game. If you win, a friend of yours will live. If you lose he will die!

*gulp* What is the question?

Creepy Voice: Do you know what has happened to you friends on the video?

How do you know about the BOTVGH Witch Project?

Creepy Voice: ANSWER THE QUESTION!!!!!!

Actually I have not finished watching the video yet.

Creepy Voice: Sorry that is the wrong answer. Too bad for your friend!

(There is a big blast outside)

MEGA MAN!!

Creepy Voice: Watch more of the video and I'll get back to you (hangs up).

(, and  then go to see what has happened outside)

Oh boy there are a bunch of robot pieces out here.

It looks like the fuse box was rigged to send a charge of electricity that made Mega Man explode.

Poor Mega Man...

Well let's get the power back on and get back inside...

( fixes the fuse and everyone goes back inside and  turns the video back on. On the video...)

....we were lucky to get one hour of school.

Hey Kenny take this camera now so I can beat up Cranky!

( throws the camera to , and runs towards  who quickly hits him with his cane)

Stop this nonsense Jumpman! We got a search to go on!

(The three continue through the woods)

I wonder where Donkey and Diddy could be.

Yeah I really want to teach them a lesson!

MHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHMMMMMMMMMMM HMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!! (points the camera to a bush)

I think Kenny has found something!

(The 3 run to an area where they see  and 's headless bodies)

Oh gross!

Yeah! I wanted to give them a lesson but not like this!

(The sound of galloping is heard again)

Umm... I think that we should start on our way back home.

This time I agree with you Jumpman.

(Suddenly the Headless Horseman appears and starts chasing , and , swinging his sword!)

AHHHHHHHH!!! It's the Headless Horseman!

Exactly how far are we from that Sleepy Hollow place?

We aren't even close to it!

THEN WHY IS THERE A GHOST WITH NO HEAD CHASING US?!?!?!?

I don't know. But what are we standing here for? LET'S RUN!!!!!!!

(The 3 start running away from the headless horseman who is steadily on their trail)

We need to get to the bridge of souls! That is a bridge the horseman can never cross.

And where would we find this bridge?

(Suddenly a bridge appears in the distance)

Figures.

We are almost there. Just a little bit farther!

( and  reach the bridge but  is still running having trouble carrying the camera)

Kenny! Throw the camera to me! You will be able to run easier.

( throws the camera to  and  aims the camera at  just in time to see the Headless Horseman decapitate  with his sword!)

Oh my God!!! The Headless Horseman has killed Kenny!

(Suddenly the Headless Horseman crosses the bridge without problems)

"Can't cross the bridge" eh? Let's get out of here!

( and  continue running away, however  trips and falls down a hill into a ditch getting separated from  who is still being chased by the Horseman!)

Cranky? Hello? (Points the camera at himself) Boy is this scary. I did not expect to see the things in the woods that I have seen here tonight! I am not too sure if I will be able to make it back to the archive alive. If not I sure hope that Luigi will take great care of things...

(There is a rattle in the bushes)

Ahhhhh!!!!!!!

( drops the camera and accidentally kicks it into a tree while running away to end the video.)

Oh no! Mario is in trouble, I have to go find him!

( runs towards the door but  grabs him)

Luigi, that video was filmed hours ago! We don't know whether Mario and Cranky are dead or alive.

(The phone rings)

Oh boy.

( answers the phone)

Hello.

Creepy Voice: Have you finished watching the tape yet?

Yeah sure it just finished.

Creepy Voice: Now I have one question that might save someone's life.

What was that?

Creepy Voice: Did you follow the number one rule of Halloween, and inspected all treats that entered the house?

Huh?

Ahhhhhhhh!!! (Drops dead)

CARTMAN!!!!

( and  run over to )

It looks like Cartman's Cheesy Poofs were poisoned.

Poisoned??

Creepy Voice: Ha ha ha!!!! Welcome to a night of terror!!

YOU WILL NEVER GET AWAY WITH THIS YOU PSYCHO!!

Creepy Voice: I already have. (Hangs up)

I don't want to stay around with a mad psycho on the loose.

Yeah! Let's go home. It's much safer there.

( and  run away)

I want to leave too.

Yeah, we nasty guys never survive things like this.

Will you two stop your whining?!

There are some questions that have to be answered. First Yoshi, where did you get the treats?

I got them from a street vendor.

A what?!

Well, it was much cheaper than the store...

But the store does not poison the goods!

Another question is why are people dying?

I can answer that.

Who is that guy?

Don't you remember? He is the author.

Oh.

Okay. This is a Halloween special. As a result it has to be scary. Sadly, the best way to have a scary episode is to have a high body count.

What will happen to the people who have died?

Oh they should return good as new in the next episode... IF the rules are followed.

Rules?

Yeah. There are certain rules that you will need to follow in order to survive this BOTVGH Halloween Special.

What are they?

Rule #1: Always stay together. The vast majority of deaths in horror movies happen to people who are alone. Try not to leave this room no matter what. And also try to stay away from open windows.

Okay!

Rule #2: Never underestimate small incidents, such as the power failure earlier. If you are not careful it might lead to your demise.

Whatever.

Rule #3: Make sure that you have never EVER flirted with a female bounty hunter. The results could be disastrous.

(Everyone looks at )

HEY!!! That does not mean that I am not going to survive. I am brave.

Yeah yeah, whatever. Anyway, one word of warning is that dead BOTVGHers will never come back if every active cast member does not survive.

In other words, everyone in this room.

Right. Now I have to get going. I still have to finish this episode.

( leaves)

Hey you know if we become inactive we won't have to worry about suddenly dying.

So let's get out of here while we still have our heads.

That's right!!

Team Rocket: TEAM ROCKET'S BLASTING OFF AGAIN!!

(Team Rocket leaves)

Great now there are only 4 active cast members!!

Well I think that we have to find that psycho and make sure that he does not strike again!

How are you going to do that?

You have call display, don't you?

Oh yeah! I can trace the call.

( looks at the number from the last call)

It looks like he called from a phone booth near here.

Then I will go and get this psycho!

Link, remember what Sean said.

Forget the rules. I have a sword and shield and that is all I need to survive. Anyway I have my cell phone with me so we can keep in touch.

( goes out to search for the psycho caller)

(on cellphone with ) Okay I am at the booth now. I will look around a bit. Call me if you find anything. (hangs up)

( walks around the area a bit when suddenly his cell phone rings)

Oh boy. Now what? (answers phone) Hello?

Hello Link this is Luigi. We have just nabbed the psycho.

Wow how did you do that?

Well it was real easy, all we did was sneak up behind him and... (voice changes more sinister) surprise!

(Suddenly a Masked Man jumps out at  with a knife which  blocks with his shield)

All right I got you now.

( starts swinging his sword at the Masked Man who keeps dodging his swings. While giving chase,  trips and he loses his sword and shield)

Uh oh...

(Suddenly the Masked Man jumps onto  and starts stabbing him)

Ahhhhhh....!!!

(Back at the archive)

I wonder what is taking Link so long?

(The phone rings and  answers it)

Hello?

Creepy Voice: One down three to go. Ha ha ha!! (hangs up)

Oh boy... I don't think that Link survived.

What are we going to do?

I don't know...

(Suddenly the fire in the fireplace flickers out)

Oh I have to get the fire going again.

Be careful Toad.

Of what? A fireplace?

( goes to the fireplace and suddenly a big stone lion-thingy swings down knocking 's head off)

TOAD!

Well there goes another head! How many decapitations have to happen today? And who has ever heard of a stone lion-thingy in the fireplace knocking someone's head off?!

I think that was in the movie "The Haunting"....

WELL I DON'T CARE WHAT MOVIE IT IS FROM I AM SICK AND TIRED OF ALL THE THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED TONIGHT!

Umm... Yoshi, I think you are getting a little too close to that open window.

DO YOU THINK I CARE ABOUT THAT?! THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE GETTING KILLED IN THE EPISODE AND I AM JUST PLAIN GETTING SICK OF IT!

YOSHI WATCH OUT!!!!!!!!!

(Suddenly the Masked Man appears and he pulls  out the window and starts stabbing him)

AHHHHHHHHHH........

Oh great, I am now the last active cast member in this episode. And now I am very scared.

(There is a knock at the door)

GO AWAY YOU PSYCHO!

But it is me Mario.

No! You're not Mario, you are the psycho using his little voice generator.

No it is really me Mario!

( carefully opens the door and sees  standing there)

MARIO!!! What happened?

Well if you saw the video I ran away after I heard a rattle in the bushes. That rattle turned out to be only a squirrel playing in the twigs. I ran right out of the woods however it was on the wrong side and I spent all of this time walking around the woods to get back here where I saw the gross sight outside.

Well at least you are back. I..... MARIO WATCH OUT!!!!!

(Suddenly the Masked Man jumps at  who quickly dodges. The Masked Man then chases  and  trapping them in a corner)

Masked Man (speaking with his voice generator): Ahhhh, Mario brothers. You have tried so hard to survive this episode. But now it is all over.

(The Masked Man raises his knife to stab  and  but suddenly he is hit over the head with a cane and when the Masked Man fell it was revealed that it was  who delivered the blow... and  was continuing to hit the Masked Man just for good measure)

Cranky! I thought you were doomed.

A dead horseman is no match for these legs!

Now what are we going to do about the psycho?

I'll fix that.

(The Masked Man disappears)

But aren't we going to unmask him and see who it was?

I can say right now that this episode had nothing to do with "who done it" or who didn't do it. It was just for the scariness of it.

UHH, YEAH!

(Everyone but  faints)

Oh well. Happy Halloween folks!

THE END

(WAIT!!!!!!! There's more! Let's go back to the archive)

Boy, that was some Halloween episode.

Yeah, it sure was.

Let's hope that everyone does indeed come back in the next episode.

Well everything is back to normal.

I wonder why we never experienced anything like this before?

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that this is the first Halloween special.

Or it could have to do about the legend of the evil force that resides in BOTVGH Woods.

Oh don't say that nonsense! This episode was all part of that whippersnapper Sean Kelly's plan to add suspense. There is no great evil residing in BOTVGH Woods!

(Suddenly there is a distant sound from the woods that sounds like laughter)

Ummmmm....... That is just the wind!

I don't think so.........................

(The laughter from the woods gets louder and it continues throughout the night until the morning when it suddenly stops!)

THE (real) END!
